Yeah, in my question I said I was trying to decide between the 2010 iMac (which can use the display port in as target display for other display port outputs) and the 2011 iMac (which currently can only do target display mode for other thunderbolt enabled macs, but I'm hoping will be able to do target display mode with a display port to thunderbolt adapter). If there's the possibility of a thunderbolt to display port adapter, then I'll go for the 2011 iMac, which is overall a better computer.

Exactly why I went with the 2010 version. My Alienware gaming rig looks awesome on the iMac monitor! 2012/2013 for thunderbolt ports on Windows systems if ever. Maybe by then I'll be ready for an iMac upgrade.
